The report is definitely not complete but its a good way in.

If any noticable changes are made to the GUI then update the corresponding 
screen shots and information in the report.

Thanks and later

Something that's required for the maze controller and animation system and to 
allow others to implement there own AI algorithms as well as the built in 
scripting system.

Here's what's up there so far.
http://code.google.com/p/maze-
solver/source/browse/trunk/src/maze/ai/RobotInterface.java
http://code.google.com/p/maze-
solver/source/browse/trunk/src/maze/ai/RobotStep.java

It may need a method to pass the model to the AI bot.
I'm not sure what else it might need.

Task:

A file->close menu option that is only enabled if something closeable is 
visible on the screen. It will then close that thing which will either be a 
maze in the maze editor or a script in the script editor.

The design proposal involved the primary frame registering a listener with 
the maze editor and script editor panels. The panels will then notify the 
primary frame when something is or is not on screen that can be closed and 
who should be notified when a close operation occurs.

This goes for the file->save operation as well.

This is a task reminder for myself.

Change the file->new->AI Script operation to bring up a dialog that allows 
the user to choose which python script to use as a starting template. 
Creating an empty script won't even be an option.

Include the script templates in the jar and open them from the resource 
stream when creating a new script.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Choose one of the preloaded mazes
2.Try to add or remove a wall with the mouse

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected to see the wall toggle but instead a wall at a totally different
location would be added sometimes.

I did change the load and save functions so that they could use files using
a preexisting .maz format but don't think that this should have messed with
what's going on here.

Task:

We can have a single file->open menu item that brings up a file chooser 
dialog which allows the user to then choose to open either a .maz or .py 
file. Then based on the file type chosen the open file request can be passed 
to the appropriate panel, either maze editor or script editor.

Task for statistics display panel.


Use the global MutableComboBoxModel that's available in the RobotBase class.

This list is updated when new AI scripts are opened.

Because there is no obvious way receive feedback from your python script 
(besides the movement of the mouse). It can be difficult to debug. I would like 
to request a code output feature (like a serial monitor window) so that we can 
see what our algorithm is doing a little bit better.

I also would to request the ability to interact with the maze like the built in 
maze solvers do. For example, the flood fill algorithm prints an int on each 
maze cell. But this feature isn't available to the python side of the program.

More documentation is always great, too! It is sometimes hard to know 
specifically what built-in methods do what.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Try loading an AI script
2.Try navigating folder
3.File filter removes folders also

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I kind of like seeing folders too.  If anyone wants to change this right 
now that'd be great; I'm working on the paper and can change it later if 
no one else does.

Yo,

Can you take a look at the Maze Model API (public methods used to interact 
with the model) and let me know if you think there will be any problems 
with that coordinate system (top left is 1,1)?

If you want I can change the coordinate system and add a wrapper for the 
maze model that will translate the coordinates. I guess the question is 
what coordinate system does the AI want to see? If the AI wants 0,0 to be 
the bottom left then it should be that.

It doesn't matter to me as long as we get it right and then don't change 
it.

The RobotController class provides functionality for the common task of running 
a robot through a 
simulation.

ller.java


It's currently used by the RobotAnimator and it would make sense to use it for 
the stat tracker as well 
and add the additional features that the stat tracker uses to it.

[deleted issue]

How about a meeting today?

What time is everyone available.

I'll throw 6pm out there. Does anyone know when the library closes?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Create a new maze with a custom size
2.Run floodfill with the new maze

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should see the mouse solve the maze.  Instead I get exceptions out the ass.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to the Maze Editor tab after launching the application without opening 
a maze.
2. Click a template item.
3. Drag it over the empty maze panel.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It crashes.
